Introduction
[edit | edit source]The joint operation between Team Hitotsuyanagi, Hervör, and Gran Eple finally reaches its decisive climax.
The cocoon atop the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building hatches, unleashing a colossal and ominous HUGE. Overwhelmed by its devastating assault, Riri and her comrades exhaust their strength and collapse in defeat.
As darkness envelops the city, massive swarms of HUGEs begin to gather, causing the situation to deteriorate by the minute.

Summary
[edit | edit source]Team Hitotsuyanagi, Hervör, and Gran Eple. The strength of our three legions has united as one...
This is Laplace... the Rare Skill that creates miracles!
It's a power meant to connect me with the precious people I trust... with all of you. By turning our feelings into strength, we will move forward into the future!—Hitotsuyanagi Riri, Our Bonds a Bullet Leading to the Future, scene 3-3
Prelude: Incubating Catastrophe
Members of Team Hitotsuyanagi, LG Hervör, and LG Gran Eple gradually awaken in the hospital. While some immediately return to the frontline, the forces convene once Hitotsuyanagi Riri regains consciousness to formulate a strategy against Evolve—the official designation for the mutated HUGE occupying the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building. They resolve to execute an unprecedented Neunwelt tactic utilizing all 19 Lilies across the three legions, pinning their hopes on Riri awakening the power of Laplace.
The Lilies march on the building via the most direct route, supported along the way by inspired Herensuge Lilies. Just as they arrive, Evolve fires another devastating beam, destroying the area around Shinjuku Station and obliterating the frontline command. High Command orders an immediate retreat. With another blast imminent and the legions in grave danger, Riri deliberately activates her Rare Skill.
Recalling a past discussion among the three legion captains about their duty to protect, Riri resolves to stand her ground and defend everyone. This unwavering determination successfully triggers Laplace. Empowered by Riri's awakening, the 19-Lily Neunwelt tactic begins. Channeling the combined feelings and Magi of every participant, the three captains deliver a synchronized Finish Shot, finally bringing the battle to an end.
Half a month later, an official assessment of Riri's Rare Skill concludes with no confirmed signs of Laplace. Despite the lingering mystery, the three Legions reunite at the hot springs of Yurigaoka, reaffirming their shared bonds and resolution.
